GoMex respectfully requests that if this Court enters a confirmation order approving the Plan, such confirmation order expressly provide that the automatic stay shall terminate upon entry of the confirmation order in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code. GoMex respectfully requests that any confirmation order provide that GoMex's rights as a secured creditor, if successful in the Litigation, partially or otherwise, be preserved, including the right to setoff and the right to exercise its right of setoff post-confirmation. According to GoMex, the Debtor should modify the Plan and Disclosure Statement to provide for the circumstance and possibility of GoMex holding an unsecured claim over and above (or in the place of) a secured setoff claim (if, for example GoMex holds a claim and Debtor has no claim), such that the 40% recovery estimate projected under the Plan and Disclosure Statement is not exclusive of the GoMex Claim. The Plan and DS provide that Disputed Claims may be settled without order of the Court. According to GoMex, the Plan and DS should also expressly provide that GoMex claim will be an Allowed Claim if and when adjudicated in the Litigation.

BAYOU STEEL: Liberty Steel Group Confirmed as Preferred Buyer ------------------------------------------------------------- Liberty Steel Group, part of the GFG Alliance, on Dec. 23, 2019, disclosed that it has been named preferred buyer for Bayou Steel Group, the US producer of structural steel and merchant bar which ceased operation and entered administration at the end of September 2019. Subject to completion of a $28 million deal to acquire the business, Liberty has developed a plan to upgrade and modernise Bayou's idled steel mill in LaPlace, Louisiana, with a view to re-starting its recycling operations in the second half of 2020 and steel making operations by 2021. The transaction is expected to close on January 31, 2020. Bayou adds scale to Liberty's US steel business, which includes existing operations in Illinois, Ohio, New Mexico and South Carolina. The group is pursuing a GREENSTEEL strategy of focusing on renewable sources of energy and recycled materials, with a view to moving towards carbon neutral steel production by 2030. Commenting on the acquisition, Sanjeev Gupta, Executive Chairman of GFG Alliance said: "We look forward to welcoming Bayou Steel into the GFG Alliance family. While the plant requires upgrades to be restarted competitively, we see good potential for the business. Bayou benefits from reliable access to supplies of recycled steel, competitive power prices and its own deep-water port." Bayou Steel was founded in 2016 but the history and operation of steelmaking at its LaPlace facility go back to 1979. The business includes a recycling business which feeds an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) with downstream rolling operations capable of producing long products for construction and infrastructure. The business distributes products throughout the US, Canada and Mexico via barge, rail and truck. The plant has been idled since September 2019 and requires investment before steel making operations can begin again. Grant Quasha, GFG Alliance's Chief Investment Officer for North America, said: "We put together a compelling bid to save the business and we see an excellent fit in terms of our group values, our existing operations in the USA and the wider ambitions of the Liberty Steel Group globally. Our immediate focus will be on restoring the steel recycling supply chain and operations at the facility. Once fully upgraded and operational the business will bring our total production capacity in the US to 3 million tons per annum, moving us closer to our target of an aggregate 5 million tons of steel production in the US."

BLUE CHIP: HRP Seeks to Strike Plan at Lift Stay Hearing -------------------------------------------------------- Hotel Reposition Partners, LLC (HRP) filed its motion to strike and exclude the First Amended Plan of Reorganization and the Disclosure Statement of Debtor Blue Chip Hotels Asset Group - Round Rock, LLC from the record of the hearing on Hotel Reposition's motion for Relief from Stay because of Debtor's violation of FRCP Rule 30(b)(6). The Debtor filed for relief under Chapter 11 in August 2019, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to protect its primary asset, a closed hotel located off IH-35 in Round Rock, Texas. The case was subsequently transferred to the Western District of Texas by order of the Bankruptcy Court. On Oct. 11, 2019, Hotel Reposition Partners filed its Motion for Relief from Stay, which asserted that the stay should be terminated under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 362(d)(3) because the Debtor was not making and could not make required interest payments and because the Debtor was unable to propose a plan that was subject to confirmation within a reasonable time. On Nov. 6, 2019, and after receiving an agreed extension of several days from HRP for the purpose of the timing of the filing of a plan within the 90-day statutory requirement of Sec. 362(d)(3), the Debtor filed a plan. No Disclosure Statement was filed. The Plan was a bare-bones plan that provided for confirmation based upon the opening of the hotel and the payment of obligations owed to creditors solely from the cash flow from operations with no contributions from equity or new financing. For the purposes of the Lift Stay Hearing, HRP asserts that the Debtor should be bound by the testimony given at the deposition of its corporate representative and not be permitted to testify regarding a Plan and Disclosure Statement that was disclaimed when the corporate representative was presented for testimony regarding the matters in this case.

All settlements and compromise of Claims or Causes of Action embodied in the Plan are effective and binding on each Holder of a Claim and Interest who may have standing to object to such compromise. The judge held that all parties have had a full and fair opportunity to litigate all issues raised, or that might have been raised, in connection with the confirmation of the Plan, and any and all comments thereto have been considered by the Court. Any objections that have not been withdrawn, waived, or settled, and all reservations of rights pertaining to confirmation of the Plan included therein, are overruled on the merits. As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter, under the Plan, allowed General Unsecured Claims in excess of $5,000 owed a total of $930,407 (Class 4) will receive a pro rata distribution on account of their allowed claims in accordance with $300,000 on the Initial Distribution Date and 6 annual payments of $50,000 on each successive anniversary , with the sixth annual distribution of $50,000 to be forgiven, waived and released if each of the five preceding annual distribution payments are timely made.

CITYWIDE COMMUNITY: Philadelphia Says Plan Not Feasible ------------------------------------------------------- City of Philadelphia, a priority tax creditor, object to the Disclosure Statement and Plan filed by Citywide Community Counseling Services, Inc. The City points out that a Disclosure Statement must include "adequate information" in order to be approved. The City asserts that the Debtor has the burden of proving that a disclosure statement is adequate, including showing that the plan is confirmable or that defects might be cured or involve material facts in dispute. The City complains that the Disclosure Statement lacks any cash-flow projections. Without this information, the City cannot determine whether the plan payments proposed by the Debtor are feasible. According to City, the Plan violates Section 1129(a)(11), as it is likely that the Debtor's plan is not feasible. "The Debtor's Plan and Disclosure Statement lack almost any detail about the plan funding and what information creditors have about the Debtor's income from the cash collateral budget suggest the plan is not feasible," the City said in its objection. The City points out that the Plan and the Disclosure Statement do not provide any detail as to how the Debtor will be able to fund the proposed plan payments. The City asserts that the Debtor's Plan and Disclosure Statement lack almost any detail about the plan funding and what information creditors have about the Debtor's income from the cash collateral budget suggest the plan is not feasible.

According to 1414 Utica, the ESCDC's Objection fails to provide any basis to deny approval of the Secured Creditor's Disclosure Statement. The Secured Creditor avers that its Disclosure Statement provides adequate information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, as is reasonably practicable in light of the nature and history of the Debtor sufficient to satisfy 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1125. Notwithstanding ESCDC's attempt to confuse the Court, the Disclosure Statement adequately discloses what creditors will receive under the Plan. The Plan and Disclosure Statement provide that ESCDC (and general unsecured creditors) will receive a pro rata distribution based upon the amount of proceeds derived from the sale of the Property. More specifically, the Secured Creditor, in event sale proceeds are inadequate, will provide a Cash Contribution to pay Bankruptcy Fees ($37,650.00), Priority/Admin Claims (class 1 - $48,601.01), and Government Secured Claims (Class 3 - $115,706.72) in the total amount of $201,957.30.

DIGIPATH INC: Incurs $1.80 Million Net Loss in FY Ended Sept. 30 ---------------------------------------------------------------- DigiPath, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of $1.80 million on $2.55 million of revenues for the year ended Sept. 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $1.65 million on $2.84 million of revenues for the year ended Sept. 30, 2018. As of Sept. 30, 2019, the Company had $1.35 million in total assets, $930,067 in total liabilities, and $425,866 in total stockholders' equity. M&K CPAS, PLLC, in Houston, Texas, the Company's auditor since 2017, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated Dec. 30, 2019, on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended Sept. 30, 2018, stating that the Company has recurring losses from operations and insufficient working capital, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Satisfaction of Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months As of Sept. 30, 2019, the Company's balance of cash on hand was $323,739. The Company does not currently have sufficient funds to fund its operations at their current levels for the next twelve months. "As we continue to develop our lab testing business and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and to achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. Since inception, we have raised funds primarily through the sale of equity securities. We will need and are currently seeking additional funds to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us.

Investview Inc. has determined that is in the best interest of its shareholders to not proceed with the tender offer in lieu of a better alternative. As Investview worked with financial and legal professionals to evaluate various courses of action, the Company was presented with the alternative of issuing a Perpetual Preferred Unit Offering which is better suited for Investview and its shareholders. The Company plans to file a registration statement on Form S-1 offering up to 2 million units at an offering price of $25 per Unit, each consisting of: (i) one share of 13% Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock having a stated value of $25 per share; and (ii) five common stock purchase warrants, each exercisable for five years from the effective date of the initial closing of the Registration Statement. The Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants will be registered in the registration statement. The 13% per annum dividends for the first three years will be escrowed from the $25 Unit offering price, representing $9.75 per share, which will result in net proceeds to the Company of $15.25 per share before paying commissions and other expenses of the offering. These escrowed dividends shall be paid monthly from an escrow account that is yet to be established. The Company can redeem the Cumulative Preferred Stock after three years at the $25 per share stated value or at any time after the 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date. Starting in year four, if not redeemed, the Company will pay the $3.25 per share yearly dividends in twelve equal monthly installments and, if any dividends are not paid, they will be cumulative and be accrued. Upon the first closing, which shall occur immediately following the sale of 160,000 Units resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $4 million, the Company will apply for the initial listing on the OTCQX of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Warrants and, if eligible, the shares underlying the Warrants. To qualify for listing, the OTCQX requires 50 holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Warrants and the Company already meets the number of holders of Common Stock for OTCQX listing but must also meet the price per share requirement. The Company will conduct closings, subsequent to the first closing, on a weekly basis for the same offering price of $25 per Unit while those shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock and Warrants, and common Stock, if eligible, are trading on the OTCQX. In addition, the Company plans to allow its common stockholders to exchange up to $1.2 million worth of common stock for the Units on a pari-passu basis. The exchange ratio will be set on the day of the first closing of the Perpetual Preferred Stock offering. About Investview, Inc.

The Plan effectuates the reorganization of GT Forge, Inc., and the liquidations of (i) Juno, (ii) Juno Oregon LLC, (iii) Omaha LLC, (iv) Sabo One LLC, and (v) Vulcan Cars LLC (collectively, the "Liquidating Debtors"). The Plan seeks to preserve the net operating losses accrued by Debtor GT Forge to facilitate the Reorganized Debtor's reentry into the market as a business-to-business ("B2B") provider. Under the Plan, GT Gettaxi Limited ("Plan Sponsor) will provide a cash contribution ("the Plan Sponsor Contribution") for the purpose of making payments under the Plan, including distributions for holders of general unsecured claims. With the exception of GT Forge, which will emerge from these Chapter 11 Cases as the Reorganized Debtor and commence new business operations, the assets of the Debtors will be vested in the Settlement Trust and will be liquidated for the benefit of Holders of General Unsecured Claims under the supervision of the Settlement Trustee. The Plan provides that all Holders of Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Other Priority Claims will be paid in full. Such payments will be funded by the proceeds of the DIP Facility, which, in turn, will be repaid in full with the proceeds of the Plan Sponsor Contribution. The Plan proposes to fairly and efficiently restructure the Debtors' liabilities and distribute the Debtors’ assets in a manner that will allow these Chapter 11 Cases to conclude promptly. The Plan provides that the Plan Sponsor will provide new value in the form of the Plan Sponsor Contribution, in cash, and that such funds will be used for the purpose of funding payments under the Plan. In return, the Plan Sponsor, or its designee, will receive the equity interests of the Reorganized Debtor under the Plan. The right to serve as Plan Sponsor will be "market-tested" through a competitive bidding and auction process. If a Person other than the Proposed Plan Sponsor (or an affiliate thereof) is approved by the Bankruptcy Court to serve as Plan Sponsor, the Reorganized Debtor will issue new common stock to the Plan Sponsor in accordance with procedures set forth in the Plan Supplement. Under the PLan, general unsecured creditors will receive (i) its pro rata share of the GUC Settlement Amount and (ii) its Pro Rata share of the Settlement Trust Amount. The Disclosure Statement says the estimated percentage recovery for the class is still "to be determined".

An organizational meeting will be scheduled after the committee is appointed, according to the filing. Mr. Miller can be reached through: Susan O. Gattis Bankruptcy Analyst 101 S. Edgeworth Street Greensboro, NC 27401 Fax: 336-291-9913 E-mail: susan_gattis@ncmba.uscourts.gov About Mendenhall Auto Auction Mendenhall Auto Auction, Inc., sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. M.D.N.C. Case No. 19-11405) on Dec. 30, 2019. At the time of the filing, the Debtor had estimated assets of between $1,000,001 and $10 million and liabilities of between $100,001 and $500,000. Judge Benjamin A. Kahn oversees the case. The Debtor tapped Dirk W. Siegmund, Esq., at the Law Firm of Ivey, McClellan, Gatton & Siegmund, LLP, as its legal counsel. MID-CITIES HOME: Unsecureds to Get Up to 138% in 15 Years --------------------------------------------------------- Mid-Cities Home Medical Equipment Co., Inc., filed a Chapter 11 Plan and a Disclosure Statement. The Debtor is projecting distributions under the Plan of between 120% and 138% over approximately 9 to 15 years to the holders of an Allowed Class 2 Previously Secured Claims, and between approximately 120% and 138% over approximately 9 to 15 years to each holder of an Allowed Class 3 General Unsecured Claim. In the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case, the Plan proposes a restructuring of the Debtor. Under the Plan, the business of the Debtor will continue after the Effective Date through the Reorganized Debtor, which will be managed by a Chief Restructuring Officer. The Debtor proposes that its current CRO, William L. Roberts of CR3 Partners, LLC, will serve as the CRO of the Reorganized Debtor. Because the Debtor had already begun winding down its primary business operations prior to the Petition Date and completely discontinued its limited remaining commercial activities on or before May 31, 2019, the Debtor's post-confirmation business activities will involve holding the Debtor's 49% interest in Mid-Cities Home Medical Delivery Services, LLC ("Delivery") and making payments pursuant to the Plan. To provide a source for such payments, the Plan incorporates a settlement with Delivery and its 51% owner and managing member, Tracy Reep ("Reep"), described in section 6.02 of the Plan (the "Delivery Settlement"). Among other things, the Delivery Settlement: (i) resolves all outstanding claims between the Debtor, Delivery and Reep, (ii) provides that Delivery will make minimum quarterly tax distributions to its members, including the Debtor, provided it has sufficient available cash reserves, and (iii) provides a structure permitting visibility by the Reorganized Debtor into Delivery's business operations. The Debtor has sizeable net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") of $2.6 million which can be used to offset the distributions from Delivery to the Debtor and allow the Debtor to make distributions to creditors in this case. However, for the Reorganized Debtor to retain the benefit of its substantial NOLs, there cannot be anownership change of the Debtorunder the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, to ensure there is no ownership change, the Plan also includes a settlement (the "Bays Settlement") with the Debtor's former principal and current 98.33% equity interest owner, Scott Bays ("Bays"). The Bays Settlement provides for the resolution of all claims between the Debtor and Bays in exchange for which Bays agrees to the entry of the portion of the Plan Injunction set forth in section 14.03 of the Plan which enjoins the sale, conveyance, pledge, assignment, or other transfer, whether voluntary, involuntary, direct,indirect,or by operation of law of more than 50% of Bays' Interests in the Debtor, the taking of a worthless stock deduction by Bays, the conversion of the Debtor to an S Corporation, the termination of the Debtor's corporate existence, or any other action that would result in an ownership change of the Debtor under the Internal Revenue Code. All of the Debtor's Assets, including its Membership Interest in Delivery, NOLs, all Cash, Estate Accounts Receivable,Estate Insurance, Estate Claims, and Estate Defenses, shall be transferred to and vested in the Reorganized Debtor. The Reorganized Debtor will have certain obligations to make Distributions on account of specified Allowed Claims under the Plan.

NEMASKA LITHIUM: Obtains Creditor Protection Under CCAA ------------------------------------------------------- Nemaska Lithium Inc. on Dec. 23, 2019, disclosed that it has obtained from the Superior Court of Quebec protection from creditors under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA"), to enable the Corporation to finalize its financing efforts in order to complete the construction and begin the operation of the Whabouchi project, following the previously announced cost reassessment. After careful consideration of all available alternatives following thorough consultation with its legal and financial advisors, the Board of Directors of the Corporation determined, on the recommendation of its special committee, that it was in the best interests of the Corporation and all of its stakeholders to file for an application for creditor protection under the CCAA. The Corporation has been otherwise unable to restructure its affairs in an adequate manner as a result of a combination of previously announced higher than anticipated construction costs, the current state of the capital markets, and the inability of the Corporation to identify a suitable solution from its previously announced strategic review process. The initial Court order provides a stay of creditor claims and the exercise of contractual rights with a view to provide the necessary protection to continue the Corporation's ongoing strategic review process under the oversight of the special committee and the Board of Directors and with the advice of the Corporation's professional advisors. In this regard, the Corporation anticipates that it may seek the approval of the Court to initiate a formal investor solicitation process to secure additional financing, sell assets, enter into a joint-venture, or a combination thereof, at a subsequent hearing before the Court. This process is intended to generate interest in either the business or the assets of the Corporation, or in a recapitalization of the Corporation, with the goal of maximizing return in respect of the Corporation's assets and creating the foundation of a plan of compromise or arrangement for all stakeholders of the Corporation. The initial Court order provides that the Corporation's management remains responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Corporation and that the Board of Directors remains intact. The Corporation is committed to completing the restructuring process quickly and efficiently. The Court has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. to serve as the Monitor in the CCAA proceedings to oversee the operations of the Corporation and report to the Court during the restructuring. The Corporation will provide a further update on these matters when more information is available. Trading in the common shares of the Corporation on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has been halted and it is anticipated that the trading thereof will continue to be halted until a review is undertaken by the TSX regarding the suitability of the Corporation for listing on the TSX. Should the common shares be delisted following such review by the TSX, the Corporation may apply for relisting of the common shares on the TSX upon exiting the CCAA process, as the case may be. Further news releases will be provided on an ongoing basis throughout the CCAA process as required by law or otherwise as may be determined necessary by the Corporation or the Court. About Nemaska Lithium Nemaska Lithium (TSX: NMX) (OTCQX: NMKEF) (Frankfurt: N0T) is a developing chemical company listed on the TSX under the stock symbol NMX and on the OTCXQ under the symbol NMKEF.

NPXe has also filed a motion seeking authorization to pursue an auction and sale process under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. "The NPXe Board of Directors have extensively reviewed our strategic options and financial situation and unanimously agree that this structured sale process represents the optimal pathway forward for the Company," said Bill Burns, CEO of NPXe. "Inhaled Xenon gas has a history of safe use in humans, and based on Phase II data, we believe bringing XENEX™ to market represents an essential element for critical care treatment for PCAS patients, a population in which no approved pharmacotherapy exists." Lincoln International has been retained as NPXe's investment banking advisor, subject to approval of the Court, to manage the sale and auction process. The proposed bidding procedures, if approved by the Court, would allow interested parties to submit binding offers to acquire substantially all of NPXe's assets, which would be purchased free and clear of the Company's indebtedness and liabilities. Interested parties could include both strategic and financial buyers, for whom substantial due diligence materials are available. The Debtors have proposed the following timeline for the sale process, subject to approval by the Court: -- Bids expected to be submitted by February 19, 2020 -- Structured auction targeted to commence no later than February 21, 2020 -- Sale intended to be concluded by February 26, 2020 NPXe Company Highlights: -- Large Addressable Commercial Market: There are over 286,000 addressable cardiac arrests in North America and the European Union each year. Management estimates the hospital market for PCAS patients in these territories to be roughly $6+ billion. In addition, there are large commercial opportunities to include indications in stroke and traumatic brain injury. -- Positive Late Stage Data: A 110-Patient Phase II trial demonstrated neuro- and cardio-protection with a significant reduction in white matter brain damage and a suggested improvement in survival outcomes. -- Favorable Regulatory Position: NPXe has received Fast Track and Special Protocol Assessment ("SPA") for the Phase III trial. Any statistically significant improvement in good functional outcome or survival would be FDA/EMA approvable. Management believes that, if successful, the product, in combination with Targeted Temperature Management ("TTM"), would become the standard of care. -- High Barriers to Entry: Orphan drug designation, patents and commercial exclusivities. Additional information about the proposed asset sale, as well as other documents related to the restructuring and reorganization proceedings, is available through NPXe's claims agent, Omni Agent Solutions, Inc. at https://www.omniagentsolutions.com/NeuroproteXeon. NPXe's proposed bankruptcy counsel is Ashby & Geddes, P.A. About NPXe NPXe is developing xenon gas for inhalation for the treatment of Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome. The Company has a Special Protocol Agreement with the FDA and a Scientific Working Party Agreement with the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Both the FDA and EMA have provided the sought PCAS indication with Orphan Drug status which prolongs the period of market exclusivity post approval. The FDA has also granted the drug Fast Track designation. Interested parties should contact Brian Bock at bbock@lincolninternational.com or Brent Williams at bwilliams@lincolninternational.com for additional information and access to due diligence materials. The Company filed the voluntary Chapter 11 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 19-12676 (MFW).

SEABRAS 1 BERMUDA: Files Voluntary Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition ----------------------------------------------------------------- Seabras 1 Bermuda Ltd ("Parent") and Seabras 1 USA LLC ("OpCo" and, together with Parent, the "Companies") filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Filings"). The Filings were made to ensure an orderly process to effectuate a new restructuring plan for Parent, while ensuring that the Company's customers will continue to be served as usual. Upon emergence from this process, the Companies expect to be well-positioned to aggressively pursue their combined business plan independent of the overhang caused by Parent's current challenges. Parent anticipates filing its proposed restructuring plan in the near term and working closely with its secured lenders to fashion a plan to address Parent's debt situation and emerge as a vibrant, healthy business. The Companies do not anticipate, nor do they wish to explore, any sale efforts through the processes contemplated by the Filings. The Companies expect to complete the process relating to the Filings within the next few months and to emerge within the second quarter of 2020, subject to all required approvals. Seaborn Networks ("Seaborn"), being the operator of the Companies' business, is not part of the Filings and continues to be the operator of the Companies' business. Seaborn is not owned by the Companies, but Seaborn is one of the indirect shareholders of the Companies. Seaborn's work in this regard is not expected to be impacted by the Filings; and the Companies expect that Seaborn will continue to provide all SG&A and Operations & Engineering services for the Companies. Seaborn itself has no borrowed money indebtedness and is a healthy business. Through the Filings process, Seaborn's management and workforce is expected to remain as it is today. Customers and suppliers should expect to work with all of the Companies' entities, and with Seaborn, as usual throughout the Filings process. The plan to be proposed by the Companies is not expected to contemplate any changes in business arrangements or activities for any of the Parent's subsidiaries, or for Seaborn, and all trade/vendor claims are expected to be paid in full. The Companies have also filed the customary motions as part of the Filings to compensate vendors as usual, maintain their usual programs for customers and partners, and otherwise operate their business as usual. Additional information will be available via https://seabornnetworks.com/seabras-restructuring/ The Companies are advised in their restructuring by Bracewell LLP and Appleby.

[^] BOOK REVIEW: Bendix-Martin Marietta Takeover War ---------------------------------------------------- MERGER: The Exclusive Inside Story of the Bendix-Martin Marietta Takeover War Author: Peter F. Hartz Publisher: Beard Books Soft cover: 418 pages List Price: $34.95 Review by Gail Owens Hoelscher William Agee, the youngest man ever to head one of the top 100 American corporations, seemed unstoppable. In 1977, at the age of 39, he took over Bendix Corporation, an aerospace, automotive, and industrial firm, determined to diversify the company out of the automotive industry. In his words, "Automobile brakes are in the winter of their life and so is the entire automobile industry." He sold off a few Bendix units, got some cash together, and began to look for acquisitions. Then Agee's relationship with Mary Cunningham burst into the news. Agee had promoted Cunningham from his executive assistant to vice president, to the outrage of other Bendix employees. Their affair, replete with power, brains, youth, good looks, charm, denial, and deceit, fascinated the American public. Cunningham was forced to leave Bendix to work for Seagrams, with the entire country wondering just how well she would do. The two divorced their respective spouses and married soon thereafter. To the chagrin of many, Cunningham continued to play a pivotal role in Bendix affairs. Eager to regain his standing, Agee turned to acquisition as soon as the gossip died down. A failed attempt to acquire RCA left him more determined than ever. He then set his sights on Martin-Marietta, an undervalued gem in the 1982 stock market slump. Thus began an all-out war of tenders and countertenders, egoism and conceit, half-truths and dissimulation, and sudden alliances and last-minute court decisions. This is a very exciting account of the war's scuffles, skirmishes, and battles. The author, son of a long-time Bendix director, was able to interview some of the major participants who most likely would have refused the requests of other authors. Some gave him access to personal notes from the various proceedings. The author thoroughly researched the documents involved in the takeover war, as well as news reports and press releases. He explains the complicated legal maneuverings very clearly, all the while keeping the reader entertained with the personal lives and thoughts of the players. People love this book. The New York Times Book Review said "Aggression and treachery, hairbreadth escapes and last-minute reversals, "white knights" and "shark repellants" - all of these and more can be found in the true-life adventure of the Bendix-Martin Marietta merger war." The Wall Street Journal said "Merger brims with tension, authentic-sounding dialogue and insider detail." Peter F. Hartz was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1953, and moved to the U.S. as a child. He holds degrees from Colgate University and Brown University. He lives in Toluca Lake, California. ********* Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par. Prices are obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication. Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices for actual trades are probably different. Our objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities. Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers public debt and equity securities about which we report. Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per share in public markets. At first glance, this list may look like the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short. Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which equity securities trade in public market are determined by more than a balance sheet solvency test. On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts. The list includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar petitions in Acrobat PDF format. Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of interest to troubled company professionals. All titles are available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.
